The evening breeze blew in.

Xiao Shizhu's robe swayed a few times in the wind, he stood up, and when Gonggong and the national teacher Ying Ying responded, his eyes moved to Ying Zhao.

"The ghosts of Huangquan that I brought back will be handed over to you and Ji Kang as they should be arranged, but there is a ghost named Wutou and the Black Monkey among them, and I have to take them away. With a little training, these two guys are ghosts who can fight well. Xiao Shizhu didn't think much about it, and said the things that had already been decided fluently.

"Yes. After Ying Zhao responded, he smiled and said: "According to the old rules, those who are willing to distribute land for farmers, those who are willing to give capital for businessmen, and those who are willing to be soldiers will be incorporated into the army." ”。

"Well, you can do this, I don't worry. Xiao Shizhu nodded again, waved his hand to signal that he could go to rest, but left the heroic move alone.

After the ghost officials and ghost generals had left, and only Xiao Shizhu and Ying Zhao were left in the lobby, Xiao Shizhu asked: "Do you still have wine here?" Our brothers haven't had a drink for a long time, so if they have one, they will go and get it, and we will talk while drinking." ”。

Ying Zhao nodded and turned around to the door, and after instructing the guards to say a few words, he turned around and turned back: "Big brother, the war has just ended, and I'm afraid there won't be much good wine in the city, but I only have a few jars of wine here, how about I make do with it?"

"It's okay, we're not drunkards, we don't need to drink. Xiao Shizhu beckoned, and after letting him do it to his side, he said with a smile: "Just drink, a few jars are enough." ”。

Ying Zhao sat down and said boldly: "I hope that the eldest brother will get drunk with us as before, and that will be happy." ”。

"Hahaha. Xiao Shizhu laughed a few times, his eyes wandering with joy, but when the laughter lingered, he said: "We can't go back to the past." I became the lord, and you also became the marshal of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Who's going to go back to the past?".

"Yes. Ying Zhao replied casually, and the guards had already sent in wine utensils and side dishes, and there were still a few jars of mud that had just been opened, and the mellow and fragrant spirits were strong.

As soon as I smelled the wine, a slight burning sensation rose in my mouth, nose and throat.

The guards put all these on the high desk in front of Xiao Shizhu and retreated. Ying Zhao got up and picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Xiao Shizhu.

Then he also poured himself and sat down, chatting with Xiao Shizhu and pushing the cup to change it.

In the lobby under the fluorescent light, laughter can be heard from time to time. Yingzhao and Xiao Shizhu talked very happily.

After a long time, the two ghosts were already slightly drunk.

Xiao Shizhu put away his smile and asked Ying Zhao: "I know that I have a son, and before I went to Huangquan, I specially let the national teacher Yingying take a look at it and choose a name." It stands to reason that the baby would not be born until I returned, but I didn't expect the baby to be born a full month prematurely. You tell me, after this child was born, what secret changes have happened in the entire court?"

Ying Zhao put down the wine glass, raised the chopsticks, took a cold dish with chopsticks, and sent it to his mouth to chew it carefully, but he was not in a hurry to answer.

After a long time, Ying Zhaocai said slowly to Xiao Shizhu, who had been patiently waiting for a long time: "I haven't heard too many rumors about this matter, but the situation between the DPRK and China has indeed appeared partisan. One faction is Zhan Zhan, but he doesn't dare to be too public, and the other faction is Zhan led by you and his sister-in-law, as well as Poria cocos' niece, Lu Wu and his younger brother both feel that it is best not to be a party or a group. We owe only to you. ”。

Xiao Shizhu smiled and did not speak. He still had a hidden report in his sleeve, and he received a report from Xuanjiao when he arrived here, about Lu Wu's embezzlement of treasury and silver and building a mansion without permission.

Not only Lu Wu, but even the ghost captives and Changqin have also taken bribes in private, and Xiao Shizhu is very clear; it's just that these ghosts are now greedy, but they are only a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels, and they don't dare to ignore the royal law, and they are very greedy. And these ghosts are the ones that Ying Zhao said are not party or group.

If you don't have a party or a group, it's not clean.

But when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Xiao Shizhu, who knows this well, can't do without them if he wants to govern the country, so he is silent. Now is not the time to go on a killing spree.

is the heroic move in front of him, which is indeed neither party nor group, nor greedy or coquettish. But such ghosts are very rare.

"Big brother, let me say something that may lose my head, you have always wanted to make Poria's niece the crown prince, it will never be realistic. Even though female officers and generals and even female soldiers can be seen everywhere in our country, for thousands of years, it has become a deep-rooted concept of male dominance and female dominance. The remaining wine in the cup, drank it all in one go, lowered his voice with the strength of the wine, and admonished Xiao Shizhu: "With its hard confrontation and causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to have another son with your sister-in-law." It's okay to make those ghosts who want to support the prince of the Thousand Vehicles Palace and ascend to your throne die. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu's eyes really narrowed, and his eyes were full of coldness.

He is still alive and well, and there are ghosts thinking in his heart, thinking about how to support his offspring, and investing in these little lords and sons. Anyone who hears this has to be annoyed and angry.

But soon, the cold glint in Xiao Shizhu's eyes disappeared, and his squinted eyes widened, and his eyes returned to calm. Ying Zhao was indeed frightened, and he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, knowing that Xiao Shizhu's eyes had regained his calmness, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while, and thought that this was indeed the best way, and it was also good to get rid of the idea of the Thousand Vehicles Palace and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to leave and right the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Of course, Yingzhao is just an idea, nothing is wrong, how embarrassed is he to anger the other party.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shizhu was not angry but happy, but joked: "What you said reminds me of an old saying - being old and not dying is a thief." I'm not old yet, and there are ghost officials in the court, who treat me as a thief. ”。

"Where there are people, there is party strife, and the same is true where there are ghosts. Big brother, let's look away, just like you said, we can't go back. In that case, let's change the way we live. Ying Zhao said this, and raised the wine glass in his hand: "If you have a child with your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law is the first main palace, the mother is expensive by the son, and the son is expensive by the mother, you can definitely make those ghosts of party struggle stop the idea of supporting the Thousand Vehicles Palace." No matter how careful you are, you will definitely be a virtuous king in the future. ”。

"Also, I'll give birth when I go back, and give birth to a bunch of sons who are fucking, it's best to give birth to a Keju team. (A Keju team of twelve.) After Xiao Shizhu and him clinked glasses, they each took a sip of wine, and after Xiao Shizhu took a bite of food for Yingzhao, he asked: "During the time I was away, there were any interesting things and novelties, and today with the wine, you told me all together." ”......

Dongyingzhou, on Dushuo Mountain.

The towering tree, with its unfurling canopy of branches and leaves, obscures the rising cloudy sun and the morning light that shines on the earth. The coast from the mountains to the bottom of the mountains is shrouded in shadows.

King Yama stood on the top of the mountain, looking out over the western sea. The sea area dozens of miles away is the point of reflection, and the coast under the mountain, a radius of nearly 100 miles is shrouded in darkness. The gloomy air dispersed, and patches of white mist as thin as cicada's wings floated on the dim sea.

Such a scenery has such a uniqueness, which always makes King Yama feel novel, and he always can't see enough. When I wake up every morning, I always have to find a place with a good view to see the scenery before going to deal with military affairs.

After staring for a moment, King Yama withdrew his gaze and looked around to the left and right.

Today's Dushuo Mountain, you can see everywhere the flower flags on the other side of the Nine Shadows Country, and the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Country. On the big tree above his head, perched the air beast soul of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and the feather man and reggae.

In the harbor under the mountain, the sailor warships of the Nine Shadows Country are also moored. Those who swim on the surface of the sea are either boat ghosts or sharks. Within a radius of two or three hundred miles nearby, there is no longer the shadow of the ghosts of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

Half a month ago, the hundreds of thousands of Xudu troops and Xuandi troops stationed here had already fled by boat in batches.

Fear and cowardice are contagious things, and some ghost soldiers have set a precedent for escaping, and the rest are naturally not far behind and follow suit.

In less than three days, the huge pass was surrendered to the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

King Yama rightfully climbed to the top of the mountain, personally planted the flower banner on the other side of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and announced that Dushuo Mountain was no longer the land of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

For a time, all parts of Dongyingzhou were still in the stubborn resistance of the Xudu Army and the Xuandi Army, as well as those Beiyin Water Divisions on the sea on all sides and the ghost kingdoms loyal to the Emperor Xudu, the ghosts were panicked, the military spirit was shaken, and the morale was low.

However, he let the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom take advantage, and soon captured the Giant Country and beheaded the ghost king of the country.

However, the king of Yama didn't care about it. Originally, the two countries were alliances, not to mention, the Qingqiu Fox Country was still a vassal state of the Nine Shadows Country. His land is also the country of the Nine Shadows, and the land will be able to station the Nine Shadows Army in the future.

"Great. Ying Lingxing walked up from behind, followed by Chun Han, and a Xuanjiao disciple with a fungus sitting on his shoulder.

When the king of Yama heard this, he turned his head and saw that the Xuanjiao disciples and the fungus people were a little confused, so he asked, "Where did the two venerable drivers come from?"

"We came overnight from General Haei. Just because if you want to tell the marshal, it is too late for the Yuque Palace to send another ghost envoy, so I ordered my two ghosts and came to contact the marshal. "After the fungus man and the Xuanjiao disciples bowed to the King of Yama, the disciples of the Xuanjiao told the King of Yama the purpose of their trip.

The sea breeze blew, and King Yama's beard and official robes swayed a few times in the wind. King Yama, who was shocked in his heart, although his face did not change, he also knew that the matter was serious, otherwise the ghost mother would not have sent a Xuanjiao disciple nearby.

Although I don't know the details of the matter yet, it's not trivial at this time.

Thinking of this, King Yama looked at Ying Lingxing, and then at Chun Han, but decided to go to a secluded place to speak again.

It's not that I can't believe these two ghosts, but I'm afraid that things need to be kept absolutely secret, and the two young ghosts are not at enough level, so it is against the order to listen to this matter.

So the king of Yama, who returned the salute, made a gesture of invitation to the Xuanjiao disciple and the fungus man, and said, "The wind is strong on the top of the mountain here, so the two of you might as well take a step to speak." ”。

The Xuanjiao didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

"Chunhan, you go to training, Ying Lingxing, you go and keep an eye on the sergeants and craftsmen who repair the fortifications of the pass, and urge them to complete the work to be completed every day. After a few simple explanations, King Yama took the Xuanjiao disciples and the fungus people and walked slowly towards the trunk of the tree.

Along the way, the three ghosts didn't communicate too much.

After reaching the entrance of the yamen that had been built next to the trunk of the tree, the king of Yama invited the Xuanjiao and the fungus people in.

When he arrived at the main hall, King Yama invited someone to watch the seat and serve tea, and then retreated. Soon, only the three ghosts were left in the huge main hall. Even the guards at the gate were withdrawn.

Only then did the king of Yama go to the depths and sit down after the long case, looked at the Xuanjiao disciples, and said, "This place is secluded, if there is anything to the two masters, you can say it bluntly." If it's a big deal, just keep it quiet. ”。
